Start Six Maids

Li Yuchun shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "If Chu Ci reminded me from time to time, I wouldn't have noticed."

"Let Chu Ci tell the story."

Chapter 116: Bones in the Coffin!

Li Baitian and Zhou Zhou looked at Chu Ci curiously, waiting for Chu Ci's answer.

Chu Ci raised his finger and pointed to the three coffins in the coffin, and said in a deep voice, "The team leader said the wrong time, which means that the three people died on different days!"

"To be specific, it should be that two people died two days ago, that is, the two coffins on the left."

Chu Ci pointed to the rightmost coffin in the coffin, and said, "The person in the coffin on the right died today!"

Li Baitian asked in confusion, "Chu Ci, how did you know the time of death if you didn't see the body?"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly and said, "Because only on the first day of death will someone throw paper money and burn tribute!"

"what?!"

Li Baitian and Zhou Zhou were startled, and looked towards the direction of the coffin again.

On the ground in the coffin, there are still many white paper money that have not been blown away by the wind.

At the same time, there is only a brazier placed in front of the coffin on the far right!

"hiss···"

Li Baitian and Zhou Zhou took a deep breath and suddenly said, "It turned out to be the reason!"

Li Yuchun nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I only discovered this after Chu Ci reminded me!"

Li Baitian pondered for a moment, his face changed slightly, "So, isn't the chief there lying to us?"

"He said that the deceased all died two days ago, and he didn't say that another person died today!"

On the weekend, he pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "The chief must have something to hide! Let's go to him and find out!"

Chu Ci interrupted the weekend by raising his hand, and said, "There is no rush."

"Let's check to see if the coffin is weird."

Several people got off their horses and walked into the spirit shed.

Chu Ci looked around and saw some incense sticks in the corner of the coffin shed.

Picking up the incense sticks, Chu Ci distributed three sticks to each of Li Yuchun and the others.

"Anyway, let's burn incense to them."

Li Yuchun and the others nodded when they heard the words, and lit the incense sticks in their hands one after another.

Chu Ci stuck the incense sticks on the ground in front of the coffin, and then walked up to the coffin.

Then the moonlight, Chuci saw the whole picture of the coffin.

The three coffins are all made of the same material, spliced ​​together with very thin planks.

Whether it's materials or workmanship, it seems very sloppy.

But for these impoverished peasant households, it is a great luxury to be buried in a coffin.

Li Baitian sized up the three coffins, frowned and said, "Aren't these coffins too crude?"

Li Yuchun heard the words and said, "For farmers, it is already very good to have a coffin for burial."

Raising his hand to pat the coffin, Li Yuchun said in a deep voice, "For some people, they can only be wrapped in straw mats and buried hastily..."

Li Yuchun stopped suddenly, put his hands on the coffin and frowned in silence.

Chu Ci looked at Li Yuchun and asked aloud, "Team leader, what did you find?"

Li Yuchun frowned, raised his hand and patted the side of the coffin again.

boom!boom!

The thin wooden coffin made two muffled sounds and moved slightly at the same time.

"wrong!"

Li Yuchun suddenly said, "The weight of this coffin is wrong!"

"If there are dead people in the coffin, the weight of the coffin will definitely not be so light!"

Li Baitian said, "Could it be a child who died?"

Li Yuchun shook his head and said, "Would children prepare such a big coffin?"

Li Baitian was startled when he heard the words, and said, "It can't be that there are no dead people in the coffin, right?"

Li Yuchun frowned and remained silent for a moment, then said, "If there are any dead people, you can find out by opening the coffin!"

Hearing this on the weekend, he said hesitantly, "Leader, is this inappropriate?"

Li Yuchun raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, just open it and take a look."

Looking at Li Baitian and Weekend, Li Yuchun said, "Let's open the coffin for the three of us!"

"Yes, team leader!"

The three of Li Yuchun stood on one side of a coffin, drew out a long knife and stuck it in the gap of the coffin.

"open!"

Following Li Yuchun's soft shout, the three of them exerted their strength together.

Crunch!

A gap was suddenly opened in the tight coffin.

Li Yuchun withdrew the long knife, put his hand deep into the gap, and lifted it upwards forcefully!

boom!

The lid of the coffin was completely lifted by Li Yuchun.

Li Yuchun stood in front of the coffin and looked inside.

"hiss···"

Li Yuchun suddenly took a deep breath.

At the same time, Li Baitian and Zhou weekend also opened the remaining two coffins.

"hiss···"

After seeing the situation inside the coffin clearly, the two also took a deep breath.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, approached the coffin and looked inside.

I saw that in the coffin was not a corpse, but a white bone!

The bones are as white as snow, without any flesh and veins!

Li Baitian took a step back, exhaled lightly, and said, "The coffin is the bones left by the dead!"

Chu Ci stared at the bones in the coffin, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid not!"

"This is a newly dead person!"

Li Baitian looked at Chu Ci dumbly, and asked suspiciously, "What about the flesh and blood on the corpse?"

"It's impossible to rot in just a day or two, right?"

Li Yuchun held the waist knife in his hand, tore off a piece of white sail and wrapped it around the scabbard.

Then he extended the scabbard into the coffin and picked up a corpse's arm bone.

The arm bones together with the wrist bones were picked out of the coffin by Li Yuchun and placed in front of his eyes for careful observation.

After a while, Li Yuchun took a long breath and murmured, "Eat, be eaten."

Chu Ci saw very clearly just now that there were dense tooth marks remaining on the bones in the coffin!

There is no doubt that the flesh and blood on the body was eaten away by something!

Or···

A cold light flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he thought to himself, something ate a living person alive!

"Eat?!"

Li Baitian and Zhou weekend were shocked when they heard Li Yuchun's words!

"What would eat the flesh and blood of the dead?!"

Li Yuchun turned his head to look at the two, and said quietly, "Who said he was dead?"

"Why can't it be a living person?"

Chapter 117 Man-Eating Rats!

"A living person?"

Li Baitian and Zhou Zhou looked at Li Yuchun blankly, and then their pupils contracted together!

They understood what Li Yuchun meant. The flesh and blood on the corpse in the coffin may not have been eaten by something after death, or it may have been eaten away by the living when they were alive!

Li Baitian and Zhou weekend just imagined for a while, and the shuddering scene that appeared in their minds immediately made their scalps tingle!

"call···"

Li Baitian took a long breath, looked at Li Yuchun and said, "Leader, it's not true that he was eaten alive while he was alive?"

Li Yuchun shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I have to ask the village head of Zhaojia Village!"

Chu Ci and the others put the coffin lid back on, walked out of the coffin, turned on their horses, and headed back towards Zhaojia Village.

Da da···

The sound of horseshoes sounded on the streets of Zhaojia Village.

Chu Ci and the others quickly caught up with Zhao Yi, the village head of the Zhao family who hadn't gone far.

"Shut up!"

Chu Ci rode his horse past Zhao Yi first, and then raised his hand to rein in the lin horned horse.

Zhao Yi was blocked, and seeing Chu Ci and the others go back and forth, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his wrinkled face.

Looking at Chu Ci, Zhao Yi cupped his hands and asked, "If you dare to be an adult, what else can I order?"

Chu Ci drew out his waist knife and pointed it at Zhao Yi with the scabbard, "Li Zhang, are you hiding something from us?"

Zhao Yi trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "My lord misunderstood!"

"How dare the old man hide the situation from the adults?"

"My lord, is there some misunderstanding?"

Chu Ci turned over and jumped off the horse, sneered, and said, "Oh, misunderstood?"

"Then how do you explain the paper money all over the floor in the altar, and the burnt paper tributes in front of the coffin?"

Seeing Zhao Yi's expression suddenly changed, Chu Ci shouted in a deep voice, "Of the three corpses in the coffin, two of them died two days ago, that's right, but there is one more, which clearly died just today!"

"You told me, this is a misunderstanding?!"

pedal pedal...

Under Chu Ci's angry scolding, Zhao Yi staggered back a few steps.

"Big, my lord!"

Zhao Yi's body trembled slightly, and his tongue was a little knotted, "This old man misremembered, there is indeed a corpse that died just this morning."

Looking at Chu Ci, Zhao Yi cupped his hands and begged for mercy, "I'm getting old, and I forgot about this for a while, I hope you will forgive me!"

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay! I'll let you be confused and forget about it."

"Then you will never forget how long the three of them have been dead?"

Zhao Yi hurriedly shook his head and said eagerly, "I haven't forgotten, this old man has never forgotten!"

"The ones who died two days ago were named Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu. They were brothers. The one who died this morning was named Miao Xiaocui. They were married from the next village, but they just became widows this year!"
